WEEK 6 LESSON PLAN

5-7 Multi-Sport Lessons

STORYLINE
Today we are Warming Up before our games. Your goal is to follow the Coach and listen to instructions.

INSTRUCTIONS

• Run from baseline to end line forwards like a cheetah 
• Run from baseline to end line side shuffles like a crab
• Run from baseline to end line backwards like a bear 
• Then with soccer balls practicing dribbling, dribble your ball to the other side of the field and back (repeat 3x)
• Back to dots and add high knees, toe touches and jumping jacks or other active movements to warm-up
• Talk about offense vs. defense and demonstrate what that means by choosing two children to show the group with.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Round About. Your goal is to be the first person to get the soccer ball first and score a goal. The person who does not have the ball, will be the defender. 

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide you into two teams. 
• Before the game begins, line up single file behind your team's marker cone.
• When I say, "GO!" the first person will race around their team's goal and receive a pass from me.
• The person who gets the ball first will play offense while the other person plays defense.
• We will begin a new round when an offender scores or a defender kicks the ball out-of-bounds. 

TEACHING TIPS
Approach: Remind children to hustle back when they are on defense. 
Discussion: Ask students to share who they saw working hard to protect the goal.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Long Shot. Your goal is get a pass from your partner and then dribble to shoot in the goal. 

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide you into pairs. 
• Before the game begins, line up single file behind your group's marker cone.
• The first person in line will start with the ball.   
• When I say, "GO!" dribble to the first cone and pass to your partner down the field. 
• Your partner should be open down the field ready to receive the ball.
• When your partner receives the ball, he or she should dribble to take a shot. 
• Once everyone has shot, we will switch sides so everyone gets a chance to shoot and pass. 
• Play several 2-3 rounds.
• Round 3: Split kids up into groups of three. Two people pass and shoot and one defender.

TEACHING TIPS
Approach: Remind children to keep their heads up while dribbling to avoid bumping into others. 
Approach: Remind students the closer they keep their ball to their body, the less chance it has to be stolen during Game 3.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing a Coach Lead Scrimmage with no goalies. Your goal is to shoot a soccer ball into the opposing team’s goal.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide you into two teams –using pinnies to tell who you are.
• Before the game begins, spread out on your side of the field.
• I will decide which team starts with the ball first.
• When I say, “GO!” the team with the ball will start.
• You cannot touch the ball with your hands, you can only kick the ball.
• There are no goalies, you must stand 3 – 5 feet away from your goal when defending.
